Allow The Flow Of Love Into Your Life

What images and notions come up for you when think about love? Warm
and fuzzy feelings, babies cooing, romance, heartache, loyalty and
devotion are some associations to the word. Do you have any rules and
expectations around love such as how people should treat their loved
ones, or who you can and can't love, or how people are supposed to
express their love? All of these concepts and regulations actually
inhibit love. Love isn't a commodity to be traded, sold, bartered or
negotiated. It's the essence of who we are and it is free flowing
within us.

Many have been taught that to have love requires having someone else
love you. This just leads people to restrict the amount of love they
feel based on how many people love them or how much others love
them. You can't get love 'out there' and you can't measure love. It
originates within us and it's infinite.

It doesn't matter how much your parents did or didn't love you, how
many friends you have or don't have, or whether your partner does or
doesn't express their love to you. Only you allow or stop the flow of
love into your life. No one can give you any more love than you
already have and no one can take it away.

What it would be like to let go of all the concepts, rules and past
experiences you have of love and instead open your heart to feel the
abundance of love within? Imagine what your life would be like from
this place.

Insights

* How would you describe love? What it feels like, looks like and
anything else you can imagine. Do you have any charged memories
around love (positive or negative)?

* What are your rules and expectations about love? Look within
your relationships for the hidden rules. Do you expect to be
treated in a certain way? Do you withhold love for any reason?
Do you have criteria for who you share love with, or how you
express it, or how it is supposed to be shown to you?

* How would you like love to feel, look and be expressed in your
life? What would you have to let go of to experience this? What
would you have to embrace?

Inspiration

* Sit with your eyes closed in a relaxed, centered, meditative
state and become aware of the highest form of love, above and
beyond any rules or limitations. You might at first see it as an
image, symbol or color, or you might just sense it. Let yourself
feel it and bring it down into the cells of your body. Feel the
essence and vibration of love and let it flow throughout your
whole space until it overflows out of you.

* Let yourself tune into any past-time pictures you carry within
you about love that may be charged or untrue. One by one,
release these out of your space and watch them
disappear. Replace these with your highest vibration of love.

* Whenever you are tempted to withhold love from another, shut
down within, or react to someone else's unloving behaviour,
instead turn up the volume of your own inner abundance of love
so you know that no one else controls how much love you can
have, feel or share.

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all
the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
